Witnessing workers and machines build massive tunnels 80 feet underground since 2009 has been an interesting sight on its own. But the project also ended up being quite the archeological opportunity. An incredible range of remains -- from an ancient Roman road to graves of Black Death victims -- have been unearthed.

Construction has proceeded with few hiccups so far, and the mega-transportation project still on track for a 2018 completion. Below, peek at the progress:
